The Tablet Market in India:

In the last couple of years tablet computers sales in India showed alternate rise and falls. The introduction of smartphones or phablets with more than 5-inch display size started to attract the attention of the buyers more. Since tablets do not have the power of the laptops, people prefer laptops more for productivity applications. However, tablets have their niche customers. Tablets are handier than a laptop, display size is about right for uses for entertainments. Based on these reasons, tablets are still in demand. Android-based tablets which are 4G-enabled are successful in the market.

Last year in the third quarter, shipping of tablet computers increased to about 38% in comparison to that in the second quarter. In general, Indian buyers are price-sensitive and the budget range tablets always do better business than the premium brands. A few companies supply tablet PCs packed with decent features in the affordable price range. These tablets are high in demand. Though there are a few takers of a premium range of tablets supplied by Apple Inc., Samsung, or Lenovo, other brands producing budget-level tablets always have a good market. Last year, Lenovo was the number one tablet PC seller in India, followed by Acer, Samsung, iBall and Datawind. Different government schemes of providing tablets to students and government officials resulted in an increase in shipment of affordable tablets.

This year several renowned tablet manufacturers are releasing feature-packed new models of tablets in Indian market. This should definitely result in growth in the tablet market in India.

About the company:

Commonly known as Asus, Asustek is multinational Taiwanese computer electronics company founded in 1989. The head office of this company is located in Beitou District of Taipei, Taiwan. According to 2015 sales report, Asus is the world’s 4th largest personal computer vendor. Asus was founded by four ex-employees of Acer, and there is an interesting story of how Asus receives Intel’s new processors before they are released to the competitor companies. At the time Asus was founded, Intel used to supply its new prototype processors to IBM first, and Taiwanese companies had to wait for around 6 months to get those processors. Using Intel 486, Asus created its own motherboard model, but could not test it without Intel’s actual processor. When Asus approached Intel for the processor, Intel was having problems with their motherboard and Asus corrected Intel’s defects and Asus’ motherboard worked fine with Intel’s processor. After that Intel supplies its products and samples to Asus first.

Asus is an environment conscious company. It has launched Green Asus, an initiative to adopt greener policies at every stage from designing to marketing. Oekom Research, which specialises in corporate responsibility assessment, marked Asus as a “highly environment-friendly company” in 2007. Asus claims to place great weight on employee virtues. The five Asus virtues are humility, integrity, diligence, agility, and courage.
